Seven patients who underwent this surgery as described above had a minimum follow-up of 2 years. Secondary lengthening of the quadriceps tendon had to be performed twice due to excessive retraction. All patients were able to perform active extension postoperatively. The Lysholm score rose from 49.3 to 83.2 points. No further rupture was detectable in the final ultrasound examination.
